Preview: Blues vs. Blue Jackets

Momentum on the Line:

The St. Louis Blues close out their four-game homestand Saturday night at Enterprise Center, hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus arrives on a four-game winning streak after a 4–2 victory in Chicago on Friday, with St. Louis serving as the second stop of a three-game road trip before the Blue Jackets return home ahead of the break.

The Blues sit at 1-1-1 through the homestand and are looking to finish the stretch on a high note before heading out for two road games of their own. St. Louis is coming off a strong statement win against the Florida Panthers on Thursday, a performance that showed resilience and timely execution in a high-pressure matchup.

Columbus sits fourth in the Metropolitan Division, just two points out of a Wild Card spot. With both teams playing with momentum and postseason positioning in mind, Saturday’s contest sets the tone. The Blues will aim to carry over their energy from Thursday while testing a Blue Jackets group that has found its rhythm and confidence during its recent surge.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

BLUES: JIMMY SNUGGERUD

Jimmy Snuggerud scored his eighth goal of the season on a power play with just nine seconds remaining Thursday against Florida. The tally marked the latest go-ahead goal in regulation by a rookie in franchise history and extended his career-long, three-game point streak (1g, 3a). Snuggerud’s ability to deliver in high-pressure situations has quickly made him a player to watch.

BLUE JACKETS: CHARLIE COYLE

Charlie Coyle enters the matchup riding a hot streak after recording a hat trick and four-point night (3g, 1a) in Friday’s win over Chicago. He has nine points in his last three games (5g, 4a) and ranks third on the Blue Jackets with 39 points (15g, 24a) in 53 games this season. Coyle’s recent scoring surge makes him a key offensive threat to watch.

BLUES BUZZ

• The Blues have scored a power-play goal in four of their last five games.
• Justin Faulk recorded his 15th and 16th assists of the season on Thursday vs. Florida and has a three-game assist streak (4a), one shy of his career-high.
